About the Art

Inspired by photographers like William Eggleston, Andreas Gursky and Guy Bourdin, James has a style that is bold, graphic and suffused with colour. James’s work finds a magic in the mundane. From the formless and everyday, he derives a symmetry and structure that is revealing and unusual. The elements in Red Chairs are in themselves almost ugly, and certainly plain. This makes the result even more surprising, as the viewer sees beyond physical plainness to see a richness of geometry and colour.

Artful photographic prints are produced to the highest standard, using Giclee printing on 300 gsm 100% cotton rag fine art paper. This method, accepted by the art world for fine art reproduction, produces a high quality, archival grade digital print. The archival quality of the pigment ink with 100% cotton rag minimises the chemical reaction leading to image fading.

Because Giclee is widely regarded as one of the very best photographic and fine art printing methods it has become extremely popular with artists and photographers displaying their images in art galleries, museums and exhibitions.

Artful is proud to offer a high quality framing service that perfectly compliments the artwork. Using conservation quality wood mouldings, our handmade frames are built for each individual print and arrive ready to hang. The archival quality mount is acid free and pH neutral, so you can be confident your print is well protected.

Artful’s framing service is not only competitively priced but of the highest quality. If you have any requests for further framing options, get in touch.

Artful uses UPS for its UK and international shipping since they’re quick, trustworthy and affordable.

As soon as your artwork is ready to be dispatched, we’ll notify you with the shipping details and tracking number. For UK delivery, shipping is ‘Next Working Day’ but for international, it will take a small while longer.

As you'd expect, all artworks are packed with the utmost care to ensure they reach you safely, but If there is any problem with how an item has arrived we will address the issue immediately.

About the Artist

James French picked up a camera aged fifteen and hasn’t put it down since. Inspired by photographers like William Eggleston, Andreas Gursky and Guy Bourdin, James has a style that is bold, graphic and suffused with colour.

James’s work finds a magic in the mundane. From the formless and everyday, he derives a symmetry and structure that is revealing and unusual. Red chairs, apartment blocks and an empty goal mouth are the everyday matter from which powerful compositions emerge.

James’s work has been exhibited internationally, including group shows in London and Barcelona, and a solo show of his ‘Reorientation’ project in Brighton. Work from his ‘Naked’ project has been selected for inclusion in the limited edition hardback book ‘X’, a celebration of 10 years of 125 Magazine
